Tiegan Ruddy has fulfilled one childhood dream by turning pro and hopes it will be a stepping stone to fulfilling another - establishing herself in Ireland's senior set-up.
Ruddy, 22, has represented her country throughout the age grades and has played once at senior level - in a friendly against Wales when she was 16.
Following her move to FC Sion from Peamount last week, she believes she can step up to the grade required to persuade Vera Pauw to bring her on board.
